CHT Group QSil 13 Translucent Silicone Potting Encapsulant

Description

QSil 13 silicone is a clear, low-viscosity, two-component silicone material from CHT Group for potting, coating, and encapsulation work. The product context lists a 100:5 mix ratio, self-leveling flow, about two hours of useful work life, and full room-temperature cure in 24 to 48 hours, with mild heat available to speed the cure when the process allows it.

QSil 13 silicone Applications

• Transparent potting and encapsulation for electronics and LED assemblies.
• Coating work where a clear silicone film is useful for inspection.
• Room-temperature processing for prototypes, repair, and production batches.
• Low-viscosity filling around small components, wires, and detailed shapes.
• Casting or protective work where primer-assisted adhesion may be needed.

This material is a two-part system, so accurate mix ratio and complete blending matter. Confirm the specific package, catalyst, and dispensing method before production. If the assembly has sensitive components, test the cure schedule, adhesion, and optical result on the real part geometry before releasing a work instruction.

QSil 13 silicone Benefits

• Transparent cured material supports visual inspection of embedded parts.
• Low-viscosity flow helps the compound settle around detailed electronics.
• Self-leveling behavior can reduce voids when the process is controlled.
• Room-temperature cure avoids high-heat exposure for many assemblies.
• Heat acceleration up to the documented limit can shorten cure time for qualified parts.

Mixing and Process Notes

Use clean containers and mixing tools, then blend the base and catalyst until uniform. Avoid whipping in air, and allow the material to flow into the part instead of forcing it into tight spaces. Keep moisture, dust, and incompatible residues away from the potting area. When adhesion is important, review the primer recommendation and test it with the exact substrate.
